Bug#547942: grub-pc: Autogenerated MemTest86+ entry is invalid

[Sir Jective]

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.97~beta3-1
Severity: normal

The autogenerated memtest86+ entry in grub.cfg does not boot. Pressing e in Grub and changing "linux" to "linux16" (as suggested by Grub at boot time) allows memtest to start.
